What is Remote Slicing?
Remote slicing is the capability of handing over the process of slicing to a remote desktop computer or server. It is mostly developed for boards with low specification, like Raspberry Pi.

What is/are the reason(s) to use it?

On boards like Raspberry Pi, the process of slicing large STL files could take up to 30 minutes, whether on a normal Personal Computer, it takes about 2 to 3 minutes. By using Remote Slicing your waiting time decreases significantly.


How to use it?

There are two ways to use Remote Slicing




How remote Slicer works: (example)

  1. NanoDLP installed on Raspberry Pi and Windows computer being used by user.
  2. A new plate uploaded to Raspberry Pi.
  3. Raspberry Pi NanoDLP detects active NanoDLP installation on users's Windows computer.
  4. Raspberry Pi transfer required data to Windows.
  5. NanoDLP on Windows start processing.
  6. NanoDLP on Raspberry Pi get status update from Windows version. And wait until slicing get completed.
  7. NanoDLP on Raspberry Pi fetch prepared data.
